I Love the Whirling of the Dervishes

How many middle-aged American males do you know who run 6 miles with Kate Bush playing on the iPod? Well, now you know one. Listened to the last few songs of Hounds of Love and then all of The Kick Inside. Not your typical running music, but certainly enjoyable.

I hustled out the door to catch a little sunlight, especially since I didn't run on Tuesday with the cold rain falling. This was another 2x800 session, and I found the toughest part is to keep running after the second interval. Especially since the second one ends at the bottom of a hill and the next part is up to the summit and then somewhat downhill for a mile. Even though it was clear the weather was cold and I wore a stocking cap and the mittens, although I probably could have worn another layer and still been fine. This weekend I'll be working, so I have to find time to fit in a long run.
